WHIDBEY ISLAND RESIDENCE
Whidbey Island, Washington
This house is situated on a waterfront bluff overlooking Puget Sound's historic Penn Cove. Its tall, broad form ensures that all rooms have ample access to natural light and views of the Sound, Mt. Baker and the surrounding woods. Main living areas are on the first floor, bedrooms and study on the second, and the master suite on the top floor, all connected via a sunlight-filled stairway projecting from the main body of the house. Rooms are light and spacious, with large windows and simple finishes. Doors from the living/dining area open onto an outdoor terrace with steps leading to the garden below. A separate garage with an upper level guest quarters/studio is sited perpendicular to the house, creating a sunny southwest entry court. The house's simple design and straightforward materials complement its natural, wooded setting.
